CONNECTING THE DOTS

FIVE MYTHS ABOUT ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION FROM US GOVERNMENT

In a whopping “Pinocchio’s nose grows longer than a football
field” essay, the Washington Post published a piece by former INS commissioner
Doris Meissner, currently a senior fellow at the Migration Policy Institute.
She wrote: “5 myths about immigration” 5/9/2010.Also published by the Denver Post.

Once again, ‘experts’ of the U.S. Government fail, and fail
miserably, to engage the American public with integrity, honesty and service to
American citizens.

“Despite the fact that we are a nation of immigrants,” said
Meissner, “immigration continues to be one of America’s most contentious
topics. The new law in Arizona authorizing police to arrest individuals who
cannot show documents proving that they are in the country legally has set off
a fresh bout of acrimony.But as in the
past, much of the debate is founded on mythology.”

Reality check:Americans do not question LEGAL immigration although it proves more
methodical at 1.5 million annually and more disastrous as it drives this nation
toward adding 100 million people within 25 years. Americans resent ILLEGAL
immigration.Meissner stands “up and
away” from reality by making such an egregious statement.

THE FIVE MYTHS BY MEISSNER THAT AVOID REALITY

1.“Immigrants take jobs away from Americans”—“Although
legal immigrants account for 12.5 percent of the U.S. Population, they make up
15 percent of the work-force,” said Meissner. “As a result of this growth, economists
estimate that wages for the vast majority of American workers are slightly
higher than they would be without immigration.”

Reality check: Over 20 million Americans suffer unemployment
with 35 million Americans subsisting on food stamps. Millions of Americans suffer home foreclosures
because they cannot secure jobs. That means those Americans must be supported
by working Americans through taxes.

The fact remains: immigrants DO take jobs from Americans. Ten
to twelve million fully employed illegal alien migrants displace Americans from
jobs and they undercut wages as they work off the books. Over 20 million Americans remain unemployed.But, as Katie Couric announced, the U.S. adds
only 95,000 jobs monthly. However, the U.S. Congress adds 150,000 to 180,000
legal immigrants every 30 days.Therefore, those immigrants take jobs away from Americans and we cannot
possibly catch up to hire Americans to create full employment.Ms. Meissner needs to go back to sixth grade
math to understand the numbers.

2.“Immigration is at an all time high, and most
new immigrants came illegally”—“Today, two-thirds of immigrants are here
legally,” said Meissner.

Reality check:In 2004,
Time Magazine’s Pulitzer Prize winning writers Donald Barlett and Jim Steele,
wrote, “What happened?” September 20, 2004.They investigated illegal immigration in that year to equal a whopping: “Three
million illegal migrants crossed U.S. borders. It’s fair to estimate, based on
a Time investigation, that the number of illegal aliens flooding into the U.S.
this year will total 3 million—enough to fill 22,000 Boeing 737-700 airliners,
or 60 flights every day for a year.”

Those numbers, because of the economic downturn, dropped to 1.0
million in 2009.An enormous 40 percent
of illegal aliens arrive with legal green cards and visas, but overstay and
melt into their racial enclaves to remain illegal for as long as they like.In order to remain, the women birth ‘anchor
babies’ at a cost along with other services of $346 billion annually to U.S.
taxpayers. (Source: Edwin Rubenstein Report, www.thesocialcontract.com)

3.“Today’s immigrants are not integrating into
American life like past waves did”—“Today, as before, immigrant integration
takes a generation or two,” said Meissner.

Reality check:Most
Americans must press ‘1’ for Spanish and ‘2’ for English across the country,
which shows that not only are immigrants not assimilating, their numbers
accelerate so fast, they refuse to speak English and work within our society as
integral aspects. They remain outside of American life by their linguistic recalcitrant
choices.

4.“Cracking down on illegal border crossings will
make us safer”—“Since 9/11, we have dramatically strengthened our borders,”
said Meissner.

Reality check:In
four of the past five years, I personally inspected the borders from
Brownsville, Texas to San Diego, California.We have done NOTHING of any significance to secure the borders.Let me repeat that: NOTHING!Over $75 to $100 billion in drugs crosses
the southern border annually and 700,000 plus illegal aliens continue to cross
our border from Mexico annually.It’s
astounding this lady enjoyed publication in major newspapers of her ‘myths’ by perpetrating
outright lies about those myths.

5.“Immigration reform cannot happen in an election
year”—“Ruling out immigration reform, whether because Congress has other
priorities or because it’s an election year would be a mistake,” said Meissner.

Reality check: To give her the benefit of the doubt, she may
be correct.However, the anger and
acrimony in Washington, DC today over the health care bill being passed—certainly
provides an excoriating environment for immigration reform.

First of all, the past four presidents and Congresses failed
to enforce the 1986 immigration amnesty.We do not entertain any chance that this current president or Congress
would enforce our borders after yet another amnesty.For anyone that might appreciate HOW deep our
predicament, please join Roy Beck at www.numbersusa.com
for a look at what we face by downloading “Immigration by the Numbers”. His 14
minute video will show you the futility and insanity of continued mass
immigration whether legal or illegal from a line that grows by 77 million
annually of poverty stricken people searching for a ‘better life’ in America.
You won’t find any media talking about it or addressing it.They run from, avoid, evade and ignore it at
all costs.

But if we ignore it as a civilization, immigration will
inject 70 million third world people and their cultures of poverty into this
country by 2035—a scant 25 years from now.We cannot sustain that number and we most certainly will not survive it
with any hope for the continuation of the American Dream for our children.

##

If any of us, no matter what our
race, creed or color might be, refuse to engage our U.S. Congress as we have
not for 30 years as to the population/immigration equation-our children will
find themselves living in a terribly degraded America where the American Dream
will be described by the history books as a 'fleeting fantasy' from the era of
1950 to 2010.

Frosty is concerned because "Over $75 to $100 billion in
drugs crosses
the southern border annually." Higher supplies of illegal drugs means lower prices of same, therefore junkies commit less crime to pay for their habits.

It sounds to me as though Frosty favors more crime.

Frosty claims immigrants take jobs from domestic U.S. workers. What does he think happens to money earned by immigrants? Do they eat it? I suggest they spend it. How is it possible to spend money without creating jobs?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Sorry, but Mexicans are neither honest nor hard working. My evidence: Mexico. There's nothing wrong with the land, it's the people. They've got copper, iron, silver, gold, oil, two huge coast lines, and millions of acres or arable land... So what's the problem with Mexico? Mexicans! They've had nothing but one dictatorship after another since their founding. Does anyone really believe Mexico would look the way it does if the Japanese ran the place?
"Frosty" is full of crap! The only illegals (Mexican and otherwise) that don't take American jobs live on welfare, which is over half of them.
I know a number of people from South America, and when I ask how Mexicans are viewed there, they all have the same answer: "Their scum-bags!" Oh, and before you go calling me a racist, remember that "Mexican" is a nationality, not a race. And it's other hispanics calling them scum-bags. American hispanics of regardless of origin are a pretty good bunch. But Mexican nationals, well I think their personal characters is reflected in their national character.

Frosty is so right about the Mexicans being the new Huns, no the new Abenakis, who need a good massacre a la the 1940 movie "Northwest Passage", starring Frosty as "White Devil" Maj. Robert Roberts.

Seriously, if they were really Huns they might get more respect, but they're mainly honest hardworking poor people forced over the border by their incurably corrupt Mexican govt. that remains the Invisible Elephant in the debate because of all the sweetheart deals it has made with the U.S. establishment. Yet until it is dissolved there can be no solution to the U.S.-Mexico problem since the border will always be unsealable, and the backward development of Mexico's territory is a giant waste.

It's time Frosty warmed up to a new approach, the Megamerge Dissolution Solution of finally accepting Mexican's existence and working with them to dissolve their govt. in favor of forming several new U.S. states, a New California, New Texas, New Florida etc., which can become vibrant new economic zones creating millions of jobs for all 414 million Americans.
